Art History Field Trip!
I am going on my first Scottish field trip tomorrow. I am going to meet half of my (Rubens and Van Dyck: Master and Pupil in Europe) class at 10am in front of The Queen’s Gallery at the Palace of Holyroodhouse (I say half because there is also a later section in the afternoon but since I have another lecture at 2pm, Bramante and High Renaissance Rome, I will be joining the first group). We will be seeing Bruegel to Rubens: Masters of Flemish Painting. This should be the first of what I believe to be four field trips between the two afore mentioned classes. Art people like their museums. Thank goodness Edinburgh has so many great ones to choose from – that are all within one mile of me!
